Aurora and Basslink in broadband deal

AURORA Energy and Basslink have today signed a contract under which  
they say they will each deliver nationally competitive broadband  
services to Tasmania.
The agreement was signed in Hobart by the chief executives of Basslink  
and Aurora, Mr Malcolm Eccles and Dr Peter Davis, in the company of  
Tasmanian Premier David Bartlett and Treasurer Michael Aird.

In a media statement the two companies said the agreement would bring  
competition to Tasmanian broadband telecommunications.

The joint agreement will mean Basslink and Aurora will both compete  
with Telstra and with each other in providing wholesale capacity  
between Melbourne and Tasmanias main population centres.
